It is and it isn't.Hope all goes well An exciting and daunting time all at the same time i can imagine!
It is and it isn't.
i feel i'm in some sort of weird limbo land at the moment where I'm working my butt off in my current job to get everything handed over next month which is odd because I won't even be here so what do i care lol
aye, they asked me to sit on the interview panel for my replacement and I was like NOOOOOOOOOOYes totally get it, i know someone who was in the same position and had to do the same, bit weird isn't it lol
Well I've got 4 working days left at work. I finish working next Friday.
They are interviewing for my replacement on Monday and I then have to do the WORDS QUICKEST HANDOVER on probably Wednesday or Thursday... Talk about cutting it fine!!
Firstly, congratulations and good luck - meant to post in this thread before today!
And wow, this handover is quick - though I guess some is better than none (for them at least). I imagine it must feel so odd having to hand over when the new person's success in the job doesn't really affect you.
Congratulations! I missed this post so just catching up. Definitely living the dream to be your own boss and you've gone about it the sensible way by building up to it. You're an inspiration and I'm hoping to one day follow suit into flexible self employment.
I agree with the advice about getting out to reduce cabin fever. It'll help to have face to face conversions with folk too (although us lot on here have pretty good chat too if ever you need, lol). Best of luck, you'll do great and we're looking forward to hearing how it goes.
How did waking up at 10am with a 'salaried' job to attend, feel?Well today was my first day as being self employed
I woke up at 10am and started work at 11am so it's going swimmingly so far lol
I literally don’t have anything now EXCEPT online earnings!How did waking up at 10am with a 'salaried' job to attend, feel?
are you looking to replace your previous salary 100% with online earnings? What are your plans?
No schedule at all.Sounds like it is all going well so far. Have you got a schedule or anything or just going to see how it goes?
My “getting up and starting work” pattern is still all over the place but apart from that I feel more settled.@Jon How was your first full week of self employment? Anything surprise you or is it a bit early to tell? More importantly, are you happy or are you wanting back into the rat race ?
I only seem to be doing around 3-4 hours a day at the moment which I’m happy with in reality is probably the same amount of ACTUAL work people do in an office job lol
